My mom and I just finished watching episode 4 of Yakeen Ka Safar. A rape, a murder, and a happy family that consists of a wise father, an adorable mother, an ideal son, and a pampered son with a heart of gold. For the past four episodes, I've only had one question in mind. How are all three families connected to one another? My guess is that Daniyal will go on to become Noori's lawyer in her quest for justice. Interesting turn of events thus far! I cringed seeing Rab Nawaz Shah speaking of women's rights and their empowerment on one end and hiding his own son's heinous sin on the other. 😡 Is money and fame worth more than a person's virtue? This series depicts a very sad reality of a patriarchal society. A father willing to set himself ablaze only because his daughter's chastity had been tarnished. I don't even know where to begin on Zubia's father. The lack of education amongst the people of Noori's village and Zubia's own house is more than prevalent. My heart broke for Zubia and Noori and the ordeals they've been made to suffer at the hands of the "almighty" man. 🥺

Since I haven't watched episodes 5 and 6, please no spoiler alerts. 😆

Completely agree with all of what you said Dazz !!
Its heart wrenching to see Zubia and Noori 😭
In the first episode when Nooris father angrily says to her mother that see the result of sending her to school i felt thats how it ends up always . It might not be education but some other small day to day matters like girls heading out at night(specially in India) . At the end of the day it becomes girls's fault . You cant blame family to be more careful too in some situations and there is not solution to it unless society changes for better
On education part yes it does enlighten people and strengthen them .
But Dazz even in educated society it is still almost the same regarding this issue .And there are uneducated people who are more mature and kind on the other hand.

And yes Zubias story too is equally troubling and when she was disclosing to her Aunt 😭

Avani, that too crossed my mind as well. I even told my mom that how are these poor girls expected to acquire an education when it's clearly unsafe for them to leave the house? I don't blame the parents for worrying for the wellbeing of their children, but thinking that your own self-respect is tainted because someone took undue advantage of your innocent daughter is absurd to me. Why is it the norm for the elders of our South Asian cultures to be so afraid of what others think? I feel as if many people are controlled by this notion that "What will people say?" 😳 Let's stand up for what's right and bring about a positive change in our cultures and the mindsets of many. How long will women bear the repercussions of actions that are beyond their control? 😭 You're right, Avani. Not all educated people are broadminded and tolerant. In Yakeen Ka Safar, Rab Nawaz Shah is a clear example of the hypocrisy that exists even in the educated class. 😕 Imagine being in Zubia's shoes and watching your own father kill your mother in a fit of rage. What kind of psychological impacts would a girl like Zubia suffer in the future? I foresee post-traumatic stress disorder with extensive cognitive-behavioral therapy for a patient like Zubia. 💔

Dazz our dear Doctor , you would know the best about healing of someone like Zubia .
But again even if a person undergoes this therapy or treatment wouldnt their whole life still be marred with this ?? i mean their decision, their thinking everything would change drastically!! Although even small incidents will determine course of our lives but it wouldnt change our thinking our personality much like how Zubias situation would be .. Again you would know better 😊

Ghuma ke baad Yakeen ka safar...
This serial is hard hitting reality. Shows families with different values..

Lot of things are involved in the behaviour of fathers that we are questioning - upbringing, values, society, corruption, law, government, family background etc...


Even in US, now we have ' The Silence Breakers' (Time's #1 person of the year), so many harassment cases coming out in open.. after so many years women are standing up for themselves...Need to have courage..


Coming back to story, yes, Nori is the common link between all the families.
Her baby brother is so courageous and encourages her to speak truth..Some people have this fire in them to change the world...

My heart goes out to Zubia and Noori. I think Zubi's dad needs some physcatrist help...


I love Daniyal's family and OMG Geeti is so understanding...It is really good to see such smooth relation between hubby and wife..
Love Asfi...😃, looking forward to his scenes..
Loved Zubi's masi as well. No wonder masi is indeed ma jaisi

I love the way people interact with respect, the tone of talks ( Asfi's family)..

SO much to learn in terms of language for me.. Hindi and words are different...

Hey guys...you know it's going to be very hard for me not to talk about the what happens further
since I've finished watching the complete series. I will be quiet for a while so not to
spoil it for you all. I hope it's OK to mention this...
Just be prepared for a really sad event before things turn for the better as the story moves along.

I have to stress about actors, story, dialogues...everything's so well done
Like Ami mentioned in another post, locations are all real, no studio sets & I like that
In fact much later, you will get to see a beautiful countryside location for the rest of the series.
And there's a sweet love story you can all look forward to 😉.

Me too, love Asfi & Zubiya...The actress Sajal Ali is so sweet looking.
In fact love all of Asfi's family...the Actor who plays Usman, Asfi's Dad has acted so well...
Such a calm, composed character...will stay that way till the end.
Oh, and did you all notice the (female) actors have so little makeup...
they are naturally beautiful. 😳

I am so glad I came across this series.
Thanks Dazz for opening this discussion thread 🤗

Avani, you're completely right in your assessment! I was speaking from the functional perspective of medicine. There's no way Zubia will ever be able to move on from this incident; it will continue to haunt and affect her in every way imaginable. She may also have major trust issues in the future. She's grown up seeing her father doubt and question her mother at every turn. It's so sad! 🥺

I agree wholeheartedly with all that you've said, Ami. 😊 Give it some time and you'll pick up Urdu the same way I picked up Hindi watching Indian television. 😉 As long as you're understanding the gist of the dialogues, the words will begin making sense to you soon. If you're confused by any dialogue, I'd be more than happy to translate. 🤗

I anticipate a happy ending, Mish! 😃 I don't think this drama would've been as great a hit if the ending were to be unrealistic or average. 😳 Don't be mislead, Mish. The actresses on Pakistani television wear a ton of makeup. 😆 It's just that their application is much more natural than what we're used to on our Indian side. They actually indulge in plastic surgery, botox, and fillers a lot more than our Indian industry. 😛 No actress in their industry is natural! 😉

Oh wow, I was amazed at their beauty!!
So Thanks to those makeup artists for all their tricks. Atleast have to appreciate they try
to look natural & keep it real as per the story & scene unlike in Indian shows
where the actor goes to bed & wakes up mostly with makeup & jewelllery...lol !!
